Hi, I’m Coach Karan!

I am honored to be considered on your short-list of coaches with whom you may potentially partner.

There is an art to coaching exemplary employees, and as one of the only leadership development firms who specialize in our proprietary approach to leadership coaching, this is what we undoubtedly know:

• High performers are extremely knowledgeable, and they play at a level at which most people cannot even envision.
• High performers are passionate, have a bias for action and a track record of success- yet they also are commonly holding back knowledge of what is legitimately possible.
• Despite their success—actually, because of it—doing more of what they’re already doing is not going to lead to their next level of success.

People have come to expect the fact that them being “outstanding” is normal for them.  A more focused type of leadership coaching is now critical to establish a new baseline of performance, without burning them out.  Coaching them on navigating this new baseline could be the key to either retaining them with the organization or seeing them skip out the door for “greener pastures”.

 I’ve cut my teeth in the coaching world by helping high-achieving top performers:

• transition from a focus on leadership theory to leadership in action
• reduce development gaps and increase emotional intelligence acumen
• increase readiness for roles of larger scope and responsibility
• strategize how to best lead work initiatives and get the work done
• increase self-confidence to conquer the challenges of workplace dynamics

After 18 years having coached over 5000 individuals in both one-on-one and in group settings, what I do know is this – although there are common challenges in the workplace, everyone’s particular situation is nuanced and specific to them.  Navigating your current needs in your current environment would be our areas of focus.

Can I relate to you?  My guess is YES!
I have worked in Fortune 50 corporations, medium-sized firms, government entities, and nonprofit organizations.  I have held roles from an individual contributor “worker-bee” up to the the top executive position at my employer.  I have managed both small and large teams – both globally and domestic.

Does any of this resonate?

What are my coaching niches?   
While I an equipped to coach any leader at any career stage, I am best known for coaching:
– Executives
– High-potential leaders (those on succession slates)
– High-potential Women and Professionals of Color
– Group leadership coaching circles

So, how does this work exactly? 
It’s as easy as 1-2-3!

1. We have an initial call to meet each other and discuss the details.
2. Afterwards, if you want me to be your coach or if you want to hire me to coach within your organization, we take care of the paperwork.
3. I issue pre-work assignments and then we get to work!

If you think you’d like to explore  a coaching engagement with me, set up a complimentary initial phone conversation on my calendar or submit a formal request here.

During our call, we’ll:

• Learn more about each other and how we both like to work
• Co-create the coaching experience and evaluate desired goals.
• Review how a coaching partnership will work and all the particulars
